Er.. Graham, did you really post this comment in far-off 1970? Marvellous if true.
ReplyDeleteMore seriously, I'd like to look into ways of making my Rome EFL Blog look more attractive. I will get ideas from your and Nik Peachey's blogs.
"Sur ce", I am off to bed. More soon!
Yours,

Yes, I did, Mike - haven't you heard of tie travel ?

Hi Mr Graham,
ReplyDeleteI teach English at Westminster International University in Tashkent. Just like you I also opened a blog for my students to interact with them outside the classroom.
We are at www.intashkent.blogspot.com
Reason why I am writing to you is that I wanted to know what kind of blog activities you do with your students.
Also I opened another blog for teachers world-wide at www.globalcommunity2010.blogspot.com which did not go public yet.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Please e-mail me directly at uzbekistan2104@rambler.ru or leave a comment on my blog.

I am a TEFL teacher and I really enjoy reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteI recently started a website called Video Language Network and would greatly
appreciate your comments. Based on the TEFL approach, the website offers lessons
in English communication through downloadable videos and support exercises.
Our videos consist of authentic conversations with native English speakers covering a variety of interesting topics and aspects of spoken English.
You can check out our website, www.videolanguagenetwork.com and click on our free lesson #16, “Living and Surviving in New York.”
Hi Graham
ReplyDeleteI created an easy-to-use tool to build read-a-long stories in Powerpoint (highlighted text with recorded voice or Google TTS). Is read-a-long considered good for ESL/EFL or only good for little children? Demo video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QecKltYmBiY.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteSaw your picture of the shirt that says "Lecture bored me to death" and I am trying to find the shirt. I love it. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteAnne
Hi Ann, from what I remember, that was a shirt that was on sale last year in a Japanese shop - I'm sorry I didn't buy one now :-)
ReplyDeleteHi,

DeleteHi Graham,
ReplyDeleteI'm almost sure you are the same GS who exchanged letters and things with a Russian Peter Hammill fan (me) in the 90s. I mean, PH... Spain... Soundbite... )) If so, I'm really glad to see you alive & well in the 21st century! Although we never met, I remember you very well :) and will always be very thankful to you for your kindness and generosity towards me.
All the very very best,

Pavel, indeed I am - I still have your letters too, believe it or not, and am very grateful for you introducing me to Nol and the other Russian rock bands you sent me records of. Hope you are well and it's great to hear from you.
DeleteBest wishes,
Graham
